Are the kills censored on the 2002 Paramount DVD? [The one with the the awful redesigned yellow artwork on the cover http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/518CR2A8R3L.jpg]
Because I noticed there is very little to almost no blood at all during the death scenes. I thought the deaths were very unimaginative and they happened almost off camera for the most part...
Is there an uncut version?

Director John Carl Buechler has publicly fumed many times over the years about the number of edits required by the MPAA to avoid an "X" rating. The film had to be submitted nine times to the Motion Picture Association of America before being granted an "R" rating, and it stands as arguably the most heavily censored entry in the 'Friday the 13th' series.
...
There were a number of filmed scenes that were edited out of the final cut in order for the movie to gain its R rating including: Maddy's face getting stabbed in the wood shed, Dr. Crews' body being cut in two in the woods, a longer death-in-sleeping bag scene, Russell's axe in the face by the lake, Jason holding David's head, and an ending scene of Jason jumping out of the water and grabbing a fisherman.
Wow! The movie would have been so much more enjoyable...
shareI remember that the director used to post on here in the pre-shutdown years.
